I just wanted to let everyone know I updated the .223/5.56 section of my Ammo Availability page. Its been over 3 months since my last update and I apologize for that. I needed to take a break from the blog but I’m back now and I’ll try to post again on a semi-regular basis.

The good news is, it looks like ammo is a lot more available again. Every single supplier had more options to choose from than 3 months ago. The bad news is, everything appears to have settled in at a price that’s far higher than I had hoped it would be. I hoped that once ammo was becoming available again, prices would come back down a ways and I don’t think that’s going to happen.

I plan to update the rest of the rifle calibers this evening after work, so look for that this later. Hopefully the pistol ammo can get updated in the next day or two as well. As always, let me know if there is another caliber that you would like me to add to the list.

Hello once again! As promised I’ve updated the rifle calibers (.223/5.56, 7mm Rem Mag, 7.62×39, 7.62×54, and 22lr) over on my Ammo Availability page to show a current list of what’s available around the web. I was surprised to see that almost every website had an increase in stock levels. The only caliber that has yet to see much of an increase is 22lr.

On a related note I’m moving into the apartment tomorrow; If all goes well with unpacking and furniture moving I should have the pistol calibers updated as well. Of course that is dependent on Comcast showing up to hook up my TV and internet service . . .

To celebrate, lets all sit back and watch some of Russia’s most historic people battle it out in another Epic Rap Battle of History!

I had a revelation on my drive home today. The way I’ve been handling these ammo updates is not very efficient at all. I’ve been trying to find a way to provide the updates more often while not sacrificing my soul and all my free time to do so; I may have done it.

As of this moment, I will no longer be posting new updates regarding ammunition availability. Instead, I am working on an entirely new page for the blog that will have permanent links to every supplier I check, even if there is no ammo in stock. The updates will come in the way of updates to the page itself. I’ll change the information beside the links to show what is available each time I update things.

The goal of this is to ease the pressure on myself by eliminating all the redundant typing that I do each week. In addition, it will clean things up. I will no longer be continuously building a list of posts that become irrelevant when a new one is added. One other benefit to this method is that I will be providing all my suppliers, even if they have nothing in stock one week. Hopefully this will help others discover suppliers that they may not have known about before. Since I can’t cover every caliber out there, maybe having that extra resource will be at least a little help to those who are looking for other types of ammo.

If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please let me know. If there are any other calibers that you would like included, please leave a comment. If you’re vocal about what you would like to see I’ll do my best to include them. Having everything on one page will make it a lot easier for me to add other calibers.

One last thing! As requested in a previous update, I’ve added 7mm Remington Magnum to the list. From now on you’ll be able to find availability for that caliber on my blog as well.

Well I’m back to blogging more consistently again. It feels good to actually get back to this. The survival updates are fun too but I like gun stuff a lot more. I don’t have a whole lot to say tonight, so lets just get right down to what you came here for.

Take Our Poll
Ammo is still plenty available but prices are still pretty high, but I feel like I’m just repeating what I say every time. Its good to see that GunBot has started including more calibers and suppliers as well. Really makes for a much better list than I can provide anymore. But I don’t intend to quit anytime soon.

Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions. You can also email me if you prefer. I don’t get a lot of comments or emails so I take time to answer each one I receive. Comments, suggestions, and tips are always appreciated.

I’m sure a few of you noticed that I didn’t post over the weekend aside from my pistol ammo update Saturday morning. Part of the reason was that I wanted a break and to spend some time with my fiance (which I did). The other reason is better described in this parody song over on YouTube (this video contains spoilers).

That’s right, I was trapped in a Game of Thrones marathon. I absolutely love that show. I’m not a huge fan of all the sex and blood (this is not a show for children) but the story line itself is pretty cool. Re-watched the entire 1st season and started watching the 2nd. So that’s why I didn’t take much time to post.

But I’m back now, with an ammo update. Hopefully that’ll make up for my slacking off. Here’s what was available as of March 25th, 2013 at 12:55pm:

Looking pretty good isn’t it? Well, when you’re only looking at a list I guess it does. Looking at prices could bring even the strongest man to tears. Hopefully the prices start dropping as availability picks up again. We can dream right?

As always, take a second to subscribe if you haven’t already. Staying subscribed will alert you as soon as I post my updates like this so you can be the first to know what’s available. And please take a second to vote in the poll on the left of the page if you haven’t already. Gives me something else to talk about next week.

Sorry I wasn’t able to get this out yesterday. I evidently consumed some gluten in the past few days and yesterday evening was pretty rough as a result. In addition to physical symptoms it leaves me with headaches, confusion, and forgetfulness. Those symptoms alone make computer work of any kind very agonizing. Add in a bunch of websites and links and prices and it just becomes a nightmare.

For today’s update I have cut back on how much information I provide for each item. My last rifle update took over an hour to complete. I was able to cut the time in half by removing things like price per round and stuff like that. I also removed the options that were specific to Canada only (SCDS Ammo and Marstar Canada). It gets stressful when I spend that much time on one post, especially since I run this blog in my free time, without pay. I hope my Canadian readers can forgive me.

Now that all my excuses and whining are finished, here is what was available as of 9:50pm on Thursday, March 20th, 2013:

Also as a reminder, be sure to vote in this weeks poll (over on the left of the page). It only takes a second and provides some interesting stuff to talk about next week. In addition, subscribe if you haven’t already. If you show your support for my blog and the ammo updates, subscribe, and are a good boy or girl, I’ll do all I can to keep the updates coming.

To all of you who have already subscribed and shown your support, thank you. I really do appreciate each and every one of you.

This update was pretty tiring for me but that’s a good thing. Ammo is back in stock just about everywhere. Even the elusive 22lr! Its extremely exciting to see several different websites offering 22lr again. Just wish prices weren’t so high.

Anyway, as always, subscribe so you don’t miss my future updates. And let me know if you spot any mistakes or find ammo available somewhere that I missed; I want to include everything I can.
